Logan

20 kilometres south-west of Brisbane is the city of Logan. Ideally located in the grown corridor between the River City and the Gold Coast. Logan has many developing suburbs offering great value house and land packages, a good public transport system and easy access to the best of South-East Queensland.

Logan is an up-and-coming city that encompasses quite a few suburbs, including Bahrs Scrub, Logan Central, and Woodridge, just to name a few. The area is currently undergoing a quiet but sweeping change as more and more pockets of it are further developed, making Logan a sought-after location for first-home buyers and investors. Another major draw for the area is the fact that, quite often, it actually costs less in the long term to own your own property than to rent, which is basically unheard of throughout most of Queensland.

Things we love…

The large swathes of parkland and open spaces in Logan are great for residents of all ages to enjoy — from children to grandparents.
The incredibly diverse community means that there are people from all walks of life and all backgrounds in Logan: 7.9% come from New Zealand, 5.4% from the UK, and nearly 11% from non-English speaking backgrounds.

But remember that…

Logan is 20 kilometres from Brisbane CBD and traffic commuting to and from the city can experience heavy delays at peak times.
Logan is still an up-and-coming area, meaning that some areas are undergoing changes and development.
Quite a lot of construction will be happening over the coming years, especially in house and land estates, so residents may have to deal with alternative driving and bus routes and such in some areas.

Location & Transport

Logan covers a large area, which means that public and private transport options are available for residents to make use of. If you’re driving, three major highways pass through the area: the Pacific Motorway (linking Brisbane to the Gold Coast), Mount Lindesay Highway (which links Brisbane and Beaudesert) and the Logan Motorway (connecting Logan to Ipswich). All three are fast ways to access most of the area.

If you’d prefer to make use of public transport, you can use one of two bus services in the area. The Logan City Bus Service covers the eastern side of Logan; this includes going to Brisbane via the South-east Busway, with stops at the Logan Hyperdome and Garden City Shopping Centre. Park Ridge Transit covers the western side of Logan, with all services interchanging at the Grand Plaza Shopping Centre in Browns Plains.

The Brisbane-Gold Coast train line services Logan, with eight stops throughout the region. These stops (Trinder Park, Woodridge, Kingston, Loganlea, Bethania, Eden’s Landing, Holmview and Beenleigh) all come on a half-hourly basis throughout the day. The Gold Coast Express service also operates half-hourly, but it only stops at Loganlea on some services.

Lifestyle

Logan is a very active suburb. The 900 parks across the 67 suburbs that make up Logan are a massive draw card for both families that move to the area, and those who come for day trips through wetlands, or for hikes/walking trips. Residents in Logan generally live a suburban lifestyle. Given the large size of Logan, there will of course be some differences between suburbs, but most of the areas are quiet, with neighbours often having friendly relationships (and these often extend to the whole street). Residents also have a good relationship with the local council by all accounts, which is ideal because changes are implemented as quickly as possible, and they host a large number of free and low-cost events throughout the year for residents to attend, including park runs, weekly markets, and concerts, to name just a few.

Education

Given the size of Logan, there are quite a few schools throughout the region. Most schools in Logan tend to be small, with roughly 600 students at most.

The most highly-ranked school in Logan (according to betterschools.com) is John Paul College. The well-respected school is co-educational and has classes from Kindergarten to Year 12. Following that, Saint Philomena School in Park Ridge is the second best primary school in Logan, and is known for the well-rounded and polite students it has. Canterbury College and Rivermount College, both co-educational prep to Year 12 schools, are respectively ranked third and fourth in the area, with Emmaus College coming in at number five.

Logan also has a few tertiary schooling options. This includes the Griffith University Logan campus, and the TAFE Loganlea campus. The Griffith Logan campus is known for the industry engagement and partnerships it provides for its students, who are predominately involved in degrees in the areas of community health, education and business. The TAFE Loganlea campus offers a large range of courses, including those in business areas, animal studies, beauty and hairdressing, community services, education, health, hospitality, IT, justice, tourism and events. There are also a collection of specialist facilities for child care, horticulture, health and hospitality students.

Developments

Quite a few places in Logan are undergoing upgrades, infrastructure improvements and development, with almost all of the new property for sale being house and land estates. This is owing to the large open spaces and farmland areas in Logan. The house and land packages available in Logan are very affordable and are ideal for families, first-time homeowners and investors.

Some of the projects currently underway or about to begin in Logan include boutique projects such as The Pocket and massive house and land estates like The Rise. The Pocket is a smaller house and land project consisting of only eight lots, whilst The Rise is set to include 370 lots throughout the estate and has a heavy focus on active living. Other projects include Villa World’s Killara, which is even larger still at 726 lots. Killara even has its own display village, so potential buyers can view house designs before they buy off-the-plan. Vale at Holmview is yet another option, and this massive Stockland development includes house and land packages for sale from $366,649. Sequana is yet another development worth checking out in Logan Reserve.
